If your getting localhost I would make sure that's not the name of the Linux box for one, change it linux-server or something. Are you running your own DNS or WINS server, if not place the linux box info in the hosts file on each of the XP boxes, this way you have a better chance of nowing they're going to find the right box.

It doesn't even give me the option to log in to the Linux computer like it did with the one XP machine that does have access. I read somewhere that I need to make sure that the SAMBA users names and password have to match for each computer that needs to access the Linux box. Is this true? (I tried it and it doesn't seem to help.) Are there some SAMBA configuration items I need to change in order for more than one computer to access the Linux box in the workgroup? And can anyone shed some light why my other XP machines on the same Workgroup can't access the Linux box even though it can see it on the XP Network places section?
